McAlester police officer calls first state tournament games The 2005 McAlester graduate recently called his first games at the OSSAA state baseball tournaments recently and plans to attend umpire school to improve his chances of eventually calling games in the majors, according to the McAlester News-Capital (http://bit.ly/2dmJDYV ). Barnett learned to love baseball at an early age and played at McAlester, where his teams played under then-head coach and current MPS Superintendent Randy Hughes and went to the state semifinals every year. Barnett has also worked in law enforcement since graduating high school, and is not the only law enforcement officers daylighting as an umpire.
